Rep. Paul Scott trailing in recall race ( big trouble for Rick Snyder)

[sufrommich]

Early results show 5,357 yes recall votes and 4,893 no votes.



Today marked the first recall election against a state lawmaker since 2008, when then-House Speaker Andy Dillon beat a recall election.

Scott’s opponents sought to recall the second-term lawmaker for several reasons, including his votes to cut K-12 education funding, add a pension tax and his work on legislation that loosens teacher tenure protection.

According to campaign finance reports, Scott out-raised the recall effort by a nearly two to one margin.

Very much a bellweather vote on Snyders unpopular programs in Michigan. Fingers crossed.
